119262 Occupational Certificate: Internet-of-Things Developer NQF 4/Cr 141

Develops learners’ skills in designing, programming, and managing IoT devices and systems. Focuses on connectivity, data integration and practical applications in smart technologies, preparing learners for entry-level IoT development roles.

In the broadest sense, the term Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses everything connected through the internet, but it is increasingly being used to define objects that "talk" to each other. Simply, the Internet of Things is made up of devices, from simple sensors to smartphones and wearables - connected together". The IoT is one of the fastest growing fields in the world of digitalisation. It was projected by Gartner that a total of 4.2 billion things would be connected by 2019 and a total of 25 billion in 2021. Moreover, the GSM Association predicted the growth of IoT devices to about 25.1 billion by 2025. This expectation presents a huge opportunity for businesses to harness data, optimise their operations and deliver more relevant experiences to users. South Africa will similarly be affected by the growth in IoT, and the MICT SETA recognises the need for a qualification to enable qualified to find employment and engage with IoT related matters.
